Ready to explore aviation training possibilities? The process starts with scheduling a discovery flight that includes ground instruction followed by hands-on flying experience with a certified instructor.
During your discovery flight, you’ll actually control the aircraft, practice basic flying maneuvers, and experience the unique freedom that only pilots understand. Most people find this first flight both exhilarating and surprisingly natural.
Discovery flights last approximately one hour and count toward total training time if you decide to continue with regular lessons. There’s no obligation to commit immediately – use this experience to evaluate whether flight training aligns with your interests and lifestyle goals.
The experienced team at Essence Flight School welcomes questions about training programs, scheduling flexibility, costs, and any other aspects of learning to fly. Your aviation adventure begins with a simple phone call or visit to Van Nuys Airport. From your first lesson to certification and job placement, Essence Flight School supports you through the entire process of becoming a licensed pilot.
The aerial view of Sherman Oaks reveals the Hollywood Hills, downtown Los Angeles skyline, and Santa Monica Mountains stretching toward the Pacific Ocean. That perspective awaits your discovery from the pilot’s seat.
